I get asked if I can do custom (name random thing). Usually nothing like anything I am showing at any given event or on my Instagram.
I just got done doing an event where I was selling prints and demoing digital painting. This guy in a polo (for me it's always guys in polos) asked if I do commissions.
Already getting odd vibes, I said sometimes, depending on time and subject. [ Background info: All of the prints I had for this event where of cats, birds, plants, and women.]
He then launches into a description of an image he was looking to get made for what I understand was his start up. And says he needed an image that was probably no more than two colors and only yay big. [He held up his hands to show how big] And it needed to be of a dock on fire.
He assured me it wouldn't be too hard, and wouldn't take very long at all.
